Alex had another great soccer game Saturday. He had his second goal in two games, a left-footed blast, one-timer, off the near post. I'm really proud of how he's stepped up his focus and effort in both the pool-training and one-on-one with me. His dedication has really started to pay dividends in the matches. I also love that he still wears his Star Wars watch during the games.

Kelly kicked off her soccer season with a tournament hosted by the North Meck Soccer Club this weekend. After two years of having to play outside fullback, her new coach played her as center forward - and she rose to the occasion in spectacular form, netting four goals and leading her U12 team to their first championship. They won the Finals 1-0 in blistering heat. She is one happy girl and I'm very proud of her.
